    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for spherical video streaming over a network by a processing system including a processor, the method including prefetching audio data for rendering the spherical video; determining whether there is a single source or a plurality of sources of audio in the audio data; responsive to a determination that there is only one dominant source of the audio in the audio data, prefetching video data in a field of view centered on spatial coordinates of the dominant source of audio; responsive to a determination that there is the plurality of sources of the audio in the audio data, sorting the plurality of sources of the audio according to an estimated sound source energy for each source in the plurality of sources, thereby creating a sorted list of the plurality of sources; and prefetching video data in plural fields of view centered on spatial coordinates of each audio source in the sorted list of the plurality of sources, wherein the prefetching is performed in an order corresponding to the sorted list, and wherein the prefetching occurs within an available bandwidth of the network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments for capturing video content with a camera. The camera is communicatively coupled to the device. Further embodiments include obtaining a network condition of a communication network. Additional embodiments include determining a network criterion according to the network condition. Also, embodiments include calculating a threshold according to the network criterion. Further embodiments include adjusting the video content in response to determining network criterion resulting in adjusted video content. Additional embodiments include determining that a first portion of the adjusted video content satisfies the threshold. Also, embodiments include transmitting the adjusted video content to a video content server over the communication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, system for tile-based video streaming using a proxy executing at a mobile edge cloud, which adaptively offloads decoding and merging of video tiles from mobile devices to the mobile edge cloud. A processing system including the proxy communicates with a video server and a client device. The proxy receives a request for video content from a client device; the request includes historical field of view (FoV) information. The proxy predicts a client FoV, requests video tiles from the server, downloads the tiles from the server, generates a video chunk by decoding and merging the downloaded tiles, and delivers the video chunk to the client device. The client device performs local decoding and rendering of the generated video chunk. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include embodiments receiving a request for portions of video content identifying first packets associated with FoV tiles and second packets associated with OOS tiles for the video content in response to receiving the request. Further embodiments include selecting a first and second communication network to transmit the first and second packets, respectively and configuring a socket API for a MPTCP for a device that includes identifying that the first packets are associated with the FoV tiles, a high priority, and are to be transmitted over the first communication network, and the socket API includes identifying that the second packets are associated with the OOS tiles, a low priority, and are to be transmitted over the second communication network. Additional embodiments include transmitting the first and second packets over the first and second communication network, respectively, using MPTCP. Other embodiments are disclosed.
